It's
no secret that healthy, radiant skin starts with healthy living. A
diet of unadulterated, nutrient dense plant and animal foods is a vital
part of a healthy lifestyle. Isn't
it wonderful to know that we can also support our skin's health with
a simple skincare routine with wholesome skincare ingredients?

Tallow is
both an essential food and a phenomenal skincare ingredient. It's
important that such an ingredient be carefully sourced from animals
living a specie appropriate lifestyle, eating a specie appropriate diet,
and are humanely harvested.

Our family farm, Carrell Farms, Inc.,
is a grass based livestock operation in Monroe, Georgia. Our ruminant
animals eat a variety of cool season grasses, warm season grasses,
legumes, and forbes growing in holistically managed soil.

The
star ingredient of our skincare line is our water buffalo tallow.
Buffalo have a broader palate than cows do, increasing the concentration
and range of nutrients they consume. In other words, buffalo tallow is
more nutritious than beef tallow. It has a high stearic acid content,
making it a very rich, "stiff" tallow that also smells cleaner than
beef.

We
go through a great deal of effort to ensure our animals are well cared
for for so you can enjoy the benefits of our grassfed fats in our
handcrafted beauty line, Buffalo Gal Grassfed Beauty.
We proudly feature skincare products you won't find anywhere else! Our
products are simply formulated with carefully selected ingredients that
soothe, feed, nourish, and replenish your skin. Nothing questionable
or toxic is ever included!

Your
purchases support a small family farm, directly promoting carbon
sequestration and food freedom through localized and
diversified agriculture. It doesn't get any better than that!

Our
ingredient lists are generally short because we insist on keeping the
tallow content high for maximum absorption of BIO-AVAILABLE vitamins and
beneficial fats!

Why Certified Paleo?

We
are diligent in selecting the purest and safest ingredients we can
find, and whenever possible we select ingredients that are certified
organic because it is a widely accepted standard for purity. Some ask
if our tallow is certified organic, and the answer is "no".

And
here's why: David and I spent many years being educated in public
schools and universities and then several more years "uneducating"
ourselves from the indoctrination that, to us, was just not right. From
the "nontraditional" species of livestock we raise to the holistic
style of land management we use, we operate intentionally outside the
commodity box of agriculture. Therefore, government sponsored
endorsements and certifications, such as "organic" are of no value to
us. That stance creates many obstacles for us, as they say, "no good
deed goes unpunished". But it is worth it.

There
is, however, a non-government certification program that does happen to
jibe with our long term outlook and philosophy: the Paleo Foundation.
We appreciate their mission and support their ideals. Being Certified
Paleo gives us greater exposure in the marketplace while also providing
customers with assurance and confidence that can't be found with other
credentials.

Buffalo
Gal Grassfed Beauty is a Certified Paleo brand and Carrell Farms is in
the process of applying to be a Paleo Approved farm. Keep posted!
